Zhong Yehan was furious when he heard this: "You would lose such an important thing. The most annoying thing is that you clearly knew that the city defense map was lost. Why didn't you report it? Are you waiting for Luo City to be breached?"
"I don't dare. I have already informed the third brother in Luocheng and asked him to re-arrange his defenses." Zhong Langyu tried his best to excuse himself.
"Haha, you are smart. You informed Luo City. Then where did you put me? I am still the emperor of this dynasty. How dare you hide it and not report it? If not..." Zhong Yehan stopped talking, " Forget it, it seems you don’t want to work in the Ministry of War anymore, go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and think about it carefully!”
Zhong Langyu was horrified: "Father, today is my great day. Even if you want to arrest me, you have to wait until I get married. Why rush!"
"Presumptuous! You are getting more and more bold. Do you think you didn't take me seriously last time when you made great achievements?" Zhong Yehan was so angry that his beard trembled.
"I don't dare, I know I was wrong!"
"Then go to the Criminal Department Prison immediately and your wedding is temporarily cancelled!"
"My son obeys the decree, my son obeys the decree!" Zhong Langyu knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, because he knew his father's temper very well. When he was so angry, he could not listen to anything. The more you spoke, the more he became angry. If you feel disgusted, the wisest way at this time is to follow his wishes unconditionally.
Accompanied by two guards, Zhong Langyu finally entered the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The bride in Prince Yin's Mansion heard that Zhong Langyu was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment and fainted to the ground in anxiety. What on earth was going on! Why did the emperor choose to arrest people on our happy day? Why? Ximen Dehao was also so anxious that he rubbed his hands. He quickly came to the emperor to intercede and see if he could be accommodating and complete the wedding. Zhong Yehan's attitude was still tough. Not only did he not approve Ximen Dehao's request, he also ordered him to take his daughter back first and wait for a while before getting married. Ximen Dehao originally wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw Zhong Yehan's face full of anger, he had to come out dejectedly. This incident was originally a happy event, but now it has turned into trouble. As the saying goes, the married girl throws away the water, but I am lucky enough to take it back alive.
Zhong Langyu thought more about it in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Why were the people of the Qiankun Cult so powerful? What methods did they use to reveal the news to their father? Could it be that they had spies in the court? Father, Father, why do you want to listen to other people's deceptions? Can't you just listen to my son? I want to explain to you, why don't you even give me this chance
Not to mention Zhong Langyu complaining in prison, let's talk about Xi Luoxuan and Su Shaokai, who rode their horses and whipped towards the north. The capital is relatively far from the grassland in the north. It has to pass through Cangzhou, Yunzhou and Yanzhou before finally entering the grassland boundary.
Xi Luoxuan is a person who likes to have fun. After passing through the bustling area of Cangzhou, she naturally wanted to have a good time. Although she was not in a good mood this time, her mood gradually improved after being with Su Shaokai for a long time. Screw the capital, screw the prince, I want to be myself again now.
Xi Luo Su Shaokai was very generous. As long as Xi Ruoxuan wanted to buy it, he would be willing to buy it no matter how expensive it was. This moved Xi Ruoxuan deeply. A man who is willing to spend money can always win the favor of women, and the same goes for Su Shaokai. He quickly won the heart of Xi Ruoxuan. At this time, Xi Ruoxuan even believed that Su Shaokai would be his support for the rest of his life.
Su Shaokai's idea was good and his approach was right, but he had to have a sense of proportion in doing things. Don't take the porcelain job without diamonds. You only brought out so little money this time, how could you spend it so lavishly? Soon Su Shaokai's economy began to crisis. Looking at his empty pockets, Su Shaokai remembered that sentence, a penny can kill a man and think he is a hero. Could he be the same? One of these heroes.
Xi Luoxuan is very relaxed. She doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are when she's not at home. When she's away from home, she has to spend money on everything, including hotels and meals. She's not just spending her free money. Xi Luo
"Not staying in an inn? Then where should we stay?" Xi Luoxuan felt that Su Shaokai's words were incomprehensible.
"How about we stay in the carriage all night!" Su Shaokai said this with great effort.
"What are you talking about? The inn is not suitable for accommodation. Why are we staying in a carriage? The carriage is so small, how can two people lie down!" Xi Luoxuan was very surprised as to why Su Shaokai had such a strange idea.
Su Shaokai thought for a while: "It's okay, you sleep alone, I can just sit outside."
Xi Luoxuan was very smart and thought to himself, maybe this silly boy has used up all the money. You can ask me when I have run out of money. I still have some jewelry on me!
Xi Luoxuan took out the baggage and handed a jewelry box to Su Shaokai: "Take it and exchange it for some silver!"
When Su Shaokai saw that Xi Ruoxuan had exposed his background, he blushed with shame. The most embarrassing thing for a man is to lose his ability in front of the woman he loves. Money ability is also a kind of ability.

Su Shaokai shook his head and still refused to accept: "Then how can it be the same? Men have to support women. If a man is so busy that he has to spend women's money, then he is still a man!"
Xi Luo Xuan said in his heart, okay, you are quite arrogant, that's fine, I won't pay, but I still have to stay in the inn, let me see what you do!
"Kaikai, Xuanxuan is not used to sleeping in a carriage, so he'd better stay in an inn! I'll pay for it. If you feel embarrassed, just find a way. Anyway, I won't sleep in a carriage." Xi Luoxuan was deliberately posing a problem for Su Shaokai.
Su Shaokai is also thinking of a way. He knows that sleeping in a carriage is definitely not a long-term solution. There will be more places to spend money. It will take more than twenty days at the earliest to get from Cangzhou to the grassland. During this time, not only do you have to live, but you also have to eat. You have to spend money! I have to think of a way. It is impossible to go back to the village to get it, and it is not practical to go to the palace to get it. It is better to get it locally and find a way in Cangzhou! However, what can I do? Although I know martial arts, I can't do anything else. The most direct way is to perform on the streets, but Su Shaokai has a thin face and really can't afford to lose face. How about finding a job? Su Shaokai knew that working for others was the slowest way to make money. He only got one or two taels of silver a month, which was not enough to make tea for Xi Ruoxuan, so he had to find a place where he could make money quickly.
Su Shaokai thought of this and said to Xi Ruoxuan: "Let's go shopping around and see where we can make money."
Xi Luoxuan didn't stop him this time. Do all men want to save face and suffer the consequences? I obviously have jewelry in my hand, but you don't want to exchange some money for it, but you have to work all over the street, okay! I want to see how you, the king of the mountain, make money. You won't go to your old business and rob!
Seeing that Xi Ruoxuan agreed, Su Shaokai drove the carriage to the market. Didn't Su Shaokai hire a coachman? Where did the coachman go? The reason was not obvious. After all the money was spent, the groom naturally had no interest in continuing to work, so Su Shaokai had to drive the carriage himself.
I walked around a few streets, not to mention that there were actually people looking for workers, but regardless of whether the work was tiring or not, the wages were too low. Just one tael of silver a month, which Su Shaokai couldn't look down on anyway. Who am I, Su Shaokai, one tael a month, or ten taels I still have to think about it.
The hard work paid off, and Su Shaokai finally saw a notice at the door of a cloth shop. The notice said that he was looking for a housekeeper and a caregiver, and the price was thirty taels of silver a month. Su Shaokai was overjoyed, this is great, this position seems to be specially prepared for me.
Su Shaokai knocked on the door of the cloth shop without saying a word. A waiter came out: "Sir, it's getting late now. You'd better come tomorrow to buy cloth!"
Su Shaokai shook his head: "I don't want to buy cloth. Aren't you looking for a housekeeper here? I want to meet your boss."
The waiter looked Su Shaokai up and down: "How many of you are applying?"
Su Shaokai said: "It's just me."
The waiter shook his head: "Brother, you'd better leave! It's not that easy to make money, so you'd better leave quickly!"
The more you drive him away, the more Su Shaokai refuses to leave: "What are you doing? If I can't do it alone, how many do you want?"
The waiter said: "At least ten or more, and they must be strong and strong men."
"Ah! How do you calculate the wages? It's only thirty taels per person?"
The waiter in the shop made a "cut" sound: "How can that be a good thing? There are thirty taels in total. No matter if you are ten or twenty people, as long as you keep an eye on the warehouse of this cloth store, you can divide the money among yourselves."
"Then what if I watch it alone?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment: "You don't want your life? You can do something that dozens of big men can't do alone? You'd better leave quickly. Although money is good, life is the most precious."
Su Shaokai pushed the waiter: "Stop talking nonsense, I want to see your boss."
The waiter was pushed by him and almost fell down. He pointed at Su Shaokai, wanted to say something, and finally ran into the back hall. It was not long before a middle-aged man in his forties came out.
"Who is applying for the job?"
Su Shaokai cupped his fists and said, "I'm here. I saw the notice you posted and want to give it a try."
The boss looked at Su Shaokai: "I heard from the waiter that you are alone?"
"Yes, it's just me."
The boss shook his head: "Young man, it's not that I'm looking down on you. I'd better go and call a few more. The reason why I can offer such a high price is not because I have too much money, but because I have no choice. Those thieves are too fierce. Let me tell you, I once We invited the yamen servants from the Cangzhou government office to come and protect the courtyard, but the thieves kept coming, and the yamen servants were unable to do anything, and even lost one yamen servant's life, and in the end even the yamen servants did not dare to come."
"It's so rampant, how can it be done without the king's law!" These words came out of Su Shaokai's mouth, which was a bit nondescript. He was a robber, and he had talked about the king's law several times.
